It is common for everyone to make mistakes, and summer residents are no exception. It takes a lot of physical effort and time to grow vegetables and fruits. In addition, this activity is very costly, so it is better to foresee all the nuances and avoid mistakes that can cause poor yields. Starting to be engaged in running a dacha economy, it is impossible to learn everything at once. Therefore, you should listen to the advice of professionals, look for useful information and acquire the necessary experience and skills. Here are the most common mistakes novice summer residents make
Autumn soil fertilization
Most vegetable crops that bear fruit during the season, along with the harvest, remove many nutrients from the soil, which leads to its depletion. In this regard, top dressing of the soil in the autumn period is very important. This is to help the perennials survive overwintering. However, it should be remembered that overfeeding the soil is just as harmful as not feeding it. Therefore, you need to fertilize it wisely. First, you need to consider what plants will be planted on the site in the next season. And secondly, for each wintering plant, the dose of nutrients must be determined individually.
The favorite dacha fertilizer is manure, which has a very useful composition for plants. However, it should be used with caution. In particular, fresh manure can even be harmful, causing plants to burn. It is much more expedient to use it rotted. This fertilizer can be applied at any time, but without too much surplus.
Crop rotation
Many summer residents plant vegetable crops from year to year in the same place. As a result, the yield is significantly reduced, or even disappears altogether. Why is this happening? Studies have shown that plants of the same species are capable of accumulating harmful poisons in the ground that inhibit the growth of the same plants. As a result, vegetables begin to ache, late blight appears, and the soil is gradually depleted. That is why it is so important to observe crop rotation, which implies a change in planting sites for vegetable crops.
In addition, mixed planting of crops that can get along with each other will help to achieve good yields and cope with pests. However, one should be well versed in its intricacies and features.
Improper watering of plants
Watering is a very important and crucial moment in the care of cultivated plants. Therefore, it is so important to carry it out correctly and in a timely manner, because it is from him that in most cases the yield on the site depends. Without water, most vegetable crops wither quickly, and sometimes even cease to bear fruit. What are the watering rules? The most common mistake in this regard is watering in hot and sunny weather. This is especially true of cold well water, which can cause real stress in plants. You should not pour water on the green foliage of plants in the heat. The fact is that water droplets on the surface of the leaves are able to concentrate the sun's rays, and this is fraught with severe burns for them.
Shelter too early
Some summer residents leave their plot immediately after harvesting, so they try to shelter some plants in advance from the winter cold. This is a very common mistake that can cause significant damage to trees and shrubs. The fact is that condensation forms under the shelter, which can cause their diseases, as well as a good environment for the life of some insects. That is why it is necessary to cover the plants immediately before the onset of cold weather, and not in advance.
It is advisable to properly monitor your site and avoid such mistakes. After all, proper care of cultivated plants, their timely watering and feeding will help to get a good rich harvest.
